The opinions expressed by writers within the magazine, along with the materials and statements of advertisers, are theirs and do not express the views and operations of Stone Update Magazine.

The management of Stone Update Magazine reserves the right to refuse any advertising or editorial submissions. (The lawyers sleep better if we say that, too.)
